The Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network (DiXiT)
offers 12 Marie Curie fellowships to early stage researchers (ESRs)
for a period of 3 years and 5 Marie Curie fellowships to experienced
researchers (ERs) for a period of 12 to 20 months.
DiXiT (Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network) is an
international network of high-profile institutions from the public
and the private sector that are actively involved in the creation
and publication of digital scholarly editions.
DiXiT offers a coordinated training and research programme for early
stage researchers and experienced researchers in the
multi-disciplinary skills, technologies, theories, and methods of
digital scholarly editing.
DiXiT is funded under Marie Curie Actions within the European
Commission's 7th Framework Programme and runs from September 2013
until August 2017.
Early-Stage Researchers must be in the first 4 years of their
research careers and not yet have a doctoral degree. This is
measured from the date when they obtained the degree which would
formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate, irrespective of
whether or not a doctorate is envisaged.
Experienced Researchers must be in possession of a doctoral degree
or have at least 4 years of full-time equivalent research
experience. At the time of recruitment by the host organisation an
experienced researcher must also have less than 5 years of full-time
equivalent research experience.
It should be noted that an individual researcher may not be
recruited first as an ESR and subsequently as an ER in the same
project.
Marie Curie ITN mobility requirement:
Researchers can be of any nationality. They are required to
undertake trans-national mobility (i.e. move from one country to
another) when taking up their appointment. One general rule applies
to the appointment of researchers:
At the time of recruitment by the host organisation, researchers
must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work,
studies, etc) in the country of their host organisation for more
than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the reference
date.
Short stays such as holidays and/or compulsory national service are
not taken into account.
Application process:
Please note that applications from any qualified applicants,
regardless of gender, ethnicity or country of origin are welcome if
they meet the eligibility requirements.
Applicants should send their applications directly to the
institution hosting the desired fellowship. Applications for more
than one post are welcome – however, multiple applications should be
indicated via the obligatory DiXiT application form (which has to be
submitted separately from the application documents send to the
hosting institution).
Application deadline:
The deadline for applications is the 10th December 2013.
Please note that the four remaining ER fellowships will start at a
later date and the possibility of application will be announced
accordingly.
